To explore the nyopic shift after cataract extrac tion(ECCE ) with intraocular lens implantation (IOL. ) during childhood.2l children (24 eyes) with ECCE+0L are retrospectively analyzed,and were divided into two groups according to the age. The initial and last postoperative refractive errors were compared. The mean myopic shift was -0.89±0.40 (3~5 years group ) and -0.97± 0.l8 (6~ l0 years N) The difference between two groups was not significantly different(t=0.2l, P>0.05 ) .The myopic shift was less than l.5re in 91.6W of the w. 83.32 of the eyes achieved a visual acuity of 0.5 or better in their pseudosphakic eyes. Undercorrecting most children 3 to 10 years of ag e by 1.00D from the IOL power predicted to achieve emmtropia.

Objective To analyze gene expression profiles of biopsy specimens from breast cancer patients who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) after biopsies, and to identify the genes which are closely associated with the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with T/FAC [docetaxel(Taxotere), 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide] or T/FEC (Taxotere, 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) regimen.Methods We retrieved and collected gene expression profiles from publicly available databases.Four datasets, a total of 844 samples, were finally retained because all the patients had received a uniform neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen.Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was categorized as a pathological complete response (pCR) or residual invasive cancer (RD).The differentially expressed genes (adjusted P-value<0.05) and therapeutic efficacy were analyzed and explored.Results After differential analysis, genes whose expressions were higher or lower in pCR group than in RD group were identified in each of the four datasets, respectively.There were 34 and 42 genes which were simultaneously more highly expressed or more lowly expressed in pCR group than in RD group in the four datasets.The unsupervised clustering, based on the 76 intersection genes, showed that the pCR specimens tended to form one cluster and the RD tended to form the other.Conclusion The seventy-six differentially expressed genes are associated with the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and are likely to be novel predictive biomarkers for the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is a neurodegenerative disease of diabetes mellitus involving peripheral nervous system damage, which is characterized by axonal degenerative necrosis, Schwann cell apoptosis and demyelination of nerve myelin sheath as the main pathological features, this disease is highly prevalent and is a major cause of disability in diabetic patients. Currently, the pathogenesis of DPN may be related to oxidative stress, inflammatory response, metabolic abnormality, and microcirculation disorder. The treatment of DPN in modern medicine mainly starts from controlling blood glucose, nourishing nerves and improving microcirculation, which can only alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients, and it is difficult to fundamentally improve the pathological damage of peripheral nerves. Mitochondrial quality control refers to the physiological mechanisms that can maintain the morphology and functional homeostasis of mitochondria, including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial autophagy, and abnormal changes of which may cause damage to peripheral nerves. After reviewing the literature, it was found that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can improve the low level of mitochondrial biogenesis in DPN, maintain the balance of mitochondrial dynamics, inhibit mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial autophagy, and delay apoptosis of Schwann cells and neural axon damage, which has obvious effects on the treatment of DPN. With the deepening of research, mitochondrial quality control may become one of the potential targets for the research of new anti-DPN drugs, therefore, this paper summarized the research progress of TCM in treating DPN based on four aspects of mitochondrial quality control, with the aim of providing a theoretical research basis for the discovery of new drugs.
